It is amazing to think that Easter and General Conference are only two
weeks away. It is fun to think about spring coming and things
starting to grow. We also are experiencing a dormant time and not as
many things in season. We are having water shortages and there is
absolutely no white sugar available anywhere on the island. They say
that the rainy season will not start again for another 2 months. When
we came in August, we couldn't imagine it getting brown here as
everything was so green and lush. It is fun to think about tulips and
blossoms on the trees. Enjoy!!!

We have had another great week. Kingstown branch has celebrated the
organization of the Relief Society in grand style. The had a walk on
Tuesday, video and game night on Wednesday, pamper session on
Thursday, and clean the Church and cook on Saturday. The Calliaqua
branch had a great dinner on Friday night that was very good and well
attended. So, we have had a lot of activities this week commemorating
Relief Society . We also have had a great week with the literacy
class and they are all so excited. We also taught Seminary and that
was very rewarding. We have not been receiving our Book of Mormon
orders for months and they finally came this week, an answer to
fervent prayer! We have some exciting occasions that are coming in
the near future (marriages and baptisms). So, stay tuned!!!

Thanks so much for your love and support, it means so much to us. We
love you all!!
